Bookroo's summary

When Clementine arrives with a blue ribbon, Caillou dreams of winning one too. Grandma's backyard Olympics, featuring quirky contests like the silliest walk, promise fun and laughter. As Caillou competes, he discovers that friendship and joy outweigh any prize. Will he embrace the true spirit of the games?

From the publisher

Clementine arrives at Caillou’s house wearing a blue ribbon. Caillou wonders how he could ever win such a prize. This gives Grandma an idea. She decides to organize backyard Olympic games with competitions like the heel-to-toe walk, the biggest smile or the silliest walk. In the end, everyone gets a ribbon — even Gilbert,for having the best purr. Caillou will learn that winning is not as important as having fun with his friends.
